About
Nitasha Sahay
A Fashion Designer by profession and now a Fine Artist, I am entranced by the beauty around me. I am a colorist and working in multiple mediums, I strive to capture the essence; the characteristics unique to my subjects in a realistic style.
I was born and raised in India and early memories of my childhood include drawing characters from storybooks and comics strips. I have been drawing and painting ever since, making Art an integral part of my life. The thrill I feel when painting is astounding. I strongly believe “Art is a journey and it purifies our soul, bringing beauty and in some cases changes in the society. It’s an exploration out and within”. I have an in depth knowledge of different aspects of Art through my studies in Fashion Designing and to further hone my skills I have taken multiple classes and done a lot of self-learning over the years. I love using different methods and techniques to bring forth realism in my art works.
I completed masters in Fashion designing and Merchandising from a prestigious Designing school in New Delhi, India and worked as a Merchandiser for few years before moving to United States. I currently run a studio in San Jose, CA, where I create my artworks and teach aspiring new artists.
I am a member of East Valley Artists; Fine Arts League of Cupertino and California Watercolor Association. I have Participated in multiple shows and won accolades.
